The Belleville RFC was formally organized in 1976 and original club colours were green and gold, only because Lew Frape, a former Leicester Tiger, was coaching a fledgling boys rugby program at Centennial Secondary School. Early captains were Mike Dollack and Wolf Tausenfreund. Soon after, a meeting was held at the Docter's Hotel and the official club colours of black, red, and white were adopted. As well, another of the club's early captains, Steve Hicks, suggested the nickname “Bulldogs” since it represented rugby's British heritage and a stubborn, courageous breed that defends its turf with great tenacity.
